Mr. Action
The king of misdirection
Master of deception
You wear your mask so well

Redefining what it means
To be an extra on the scene
He's died a thousand times for you and me

People wonder
Where he derives his power
Some says he's a charmer
Others think it's the Casbah

He always keeps close by
Holds the tower in his eyes
And he knows that the story never dies

Take your bow Mr. Action
Cause there's no question
This one's for you
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through

He's a mystic
Oh you know he's cryptic
You think you caught a glimpse
But you just missed it

A lavender sachet
A little luck along the way
And he knows just how to handle any fate

An ocarina
An ancient blue patina
He plays a song from deep beyond the real world

He says you'll never know yourself
Till you dress like someone else
Wear the eyes behind the stories that you tell

Take your bow Mr. Action
Cause there's no question
This one's for you
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through

Take your bow Mr. Action
Cause there's no question
This one's for you
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through

Take your bow Mr. Action
Cause there's no question
This one's for you
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through

Take your bow Mr. Action
Cause there's no question
This one's for you
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through
It's been a long time
It's been a wild ride
But you always see it through
